PREFACE. 


"THE Library of Mr. Charles Howard Shinn, the well-known 
writer on California topics, is rich in books and pamphlets 
relating to the early history of the Far West. There are ac- 
counts of the gold discoveries and reminiscences by and of the 
men who took part in them, important works on the Indians, 
early copies of Western newspapers, songsters, bibliographies, 
legal statutes, early San Francisco directories, information 
concerning the laying of the railroads, as well as valuable 
material referring to the activities of various religious sects. 
Much of this material is extremely rare. In a number of 
instances, no previous copy has appeared in book sales. 


Among the items are a broadside, ‘‘The Frazier River Ther- 
mometer,’’ 1858, refiecting the frenzied state of mind provoked 
by the discovery of gold, Anderson’s ‘‘Handbook of the Gold 
Regions,’’ 1858, of which but one other copy is known to have 
been sold at auction, ‘‘ Narrative of Edward MeGowan,’’ 1857, 
printed privately in a small edition and considered to be one 
of the rarest California items, Slater’s ‘‘Fruits of Mormon- 
ism,’’ 1851, one of three known copies of the only book printed 
in Coloma, where gold was discovered first, and ‘‘ The Personal 
Narrative of James O. Pattie,’’ Cincinnati, 1833, a copy of the 
very rare first edition. 


There also are many books of interest to the general collector, 
including first editions of American authors, colored plate 
books, early works on travel, etc., and a broadside issued by 
the War Department on April 20, 1865, with the photographs 
of Booth, Surratt and Harold offering $100,000 reward for the 
eapture of Lincoln’s assassin.

THIS IS THE FIRST REPORT ON LAND TITLES IN SAN FRANCISCO

Exeessively Rare. This item, like the ‘‘Report on the Beach 
Lots’’ in the present sale (p. v.) is practically unobtainable 
and to our knowledge this is the only copy that has been offered 
for sale. The destructive fire of 1851 disposed of the entire

ing to the Preface of Wheeler’s ‘‘Land Titles.’’

the only remaining copy of five, the other four having been 
lost during the past years. It is doubtful if any other picture, 
showing so minutely this portion of early San Francisco, is in 
existence. It is in a splendid state of preservation.

Coloma, Cal.: Harmon & Springer, 1851 


An early California and Mormon item of extreme rarity. It 
is said that this is the only book ever published in Coloma, 
where gold was first discovered in 1848. But two or three 
copies of this book seem to be known, one of which is in the 
Bancroft Library in California, and another in the N. Y. 
Public Library. Pasted on inside cover is an inscription read- 
ing: ‘‘ With Respects of the author. Written in the Spring of 
A810"? 

In the fall of 1850 many gold seekers were obliged, by the 
depth of snow in the mountain passes, to stop for the winter 
in Salt Lake City, and were treated in so harsh a manner by 
the Mormons that nearly all determined to write East and 
warn the emigrants to avoid that City. It was then suggested 
that the views of all who had suffered should be embodied in a 
pamphlet and this, too, sent East. The above volume contains 
their account of Mormon thefts, murders, wives, laws, etc.
